Intro to secondary & vicarious trauma – Wednesday 20th 1pm

£12.50 / included in BCC membership

An introduction to workplace trauma – specifically secondary trauma, which impacts people involved in caring for those who are suffering. We will also explore vicarious trauma, the trauma of witnessing suffering. I work from the starting point that both research and teaching hold the potential for creating the conditions for trauma. The workshop will explain the neuroscience of what happens and why, and offer processes for supporting yourself and others.

Guest Masterclass with Rebekah Ballagh: Healing Your Shadow Archetypes

exclusive for BCC members

Join Becks as she guides us through the five common protective patterns our nervous system may use when we are under stress, and explains why we find them so frustrating and difficult to dislodge.

This masterclass is in two parts – a pre-recorded 40 minute workshop with a quiz and intro to the archetypes, followed by a live call with Becks to discuss healing practices. See the member’s calendar for dates.

Summer Writing Programme

Join me for a self-paced summer writing programme to support you through writing in hard times. The course focuses on ten weeks of writing prompts, accompanied by a weekly co-writing call, and supported through three group coaching sessions for the cohort. The live calls are all recorded and sent to you if you can’t attend.

This programme is for you if:

• You are writing about a hard topic
• You are writing in challenging circumstances
• You want to write to process hard things

The course is primarily designed for people who are already writing (memoirists, authors, researchers, PhD candidates) and the prompts reflect that, but anybody is welcome.

Cost:

• Just the course: £125
• Course PLUS a 90 minute personal coaching session with me: £200

I try to keep costs as low as possible whilst still reflecting the value of the offering, as I want my courses to be accessible in challenging times.

How to join:

Nothing simpler! Just hit the button below to register your details and pay. You’ll get an email from me confirming (it might take up to 24 hours for that to arrive) and another the week before the course starts in July.
